Quoted from 316[b
]Not one fan wanted Slade to be re-appointed at this football club.
[/b]
He was always facing an uphill challenge to win us over - the value in doing so, is that when you hit a sticky patch the fans afford you more time, because you speak honestly, truthfully and respectfully.
Not Slade.
He's returned, he doesn't give a fcuk about the fans and is as narrow-minded and blinkered as the man who hired him.
My issue with this whole thing is that we all saw this coming an absolute mile off.
As soon as Hurst went to Shrewsbury, there wasn't another manager with the magic touch just waiting in the wings.
Bignot was the right sort of appointment at the time because he truly was a builder, not a fixer. His record showed he built things over seasons, not months, which is why it was a mistake to sack him - especially after a victory.
So even the way we sacked our previous manager and hired our current one was done shoddily.
John Fenty is an embarrassment. Russell Slade is an embarrassment. I hope one day they're both long gone and we have a progressive board that has some kind of long-term plan, rather than simply throwing money at plugging holes in a sinking ship.
Great post except for the highlighted bit ! Quite a few fans on here were pleased when he was appointed and expressed that opinion on here. I never wanted him back and expressed that opinion but was frequently criticised on here for that point of view. Any posts that I made questioning his appointment was received with a barrage of red crosses. Strangely although I never wanted him back in a way I still wanted him to succeed because his failure would damage the club. |

Definitely not a Slade fan but I honestly thought he was a safe pair of hands in that relegation wouldn’t be on the agenda. I thought the contacts he should have in the game would be enough to pick up the right type of players for even a play off push . Clearly very wrong the only thing he seems good at is spinning well at least attempting to spin away every dreadful performance to the media.

Having read Slades remarks in todays GET I cannot believe how delusional he is. The classic comment is where he is discussing Matt's red card . " ... and that was quite key at the time because I thought we had the momentum with the substitutions we'd made". I think he must have overlooked the fact that Matt was sent off in the 89th minute and even though we had pulled one goal back we didn't really look likely to get another in 1 minute pus AET !

[quote=110] You weren'i the only one[/quote I think two of his "fans " have already given me red crosses and I'm sure more will follow but sometimes the truth really does hurt!  |

Well we are still here, in a pragmatic sort of a way. Memory plays tricks, but there certainly wasn't an outcry on here or elsewhere when he was appointed. Some moaned of course, but some fans always do whenever a new manager is installed. I was pleased because he was known to Fenty, and has a good career since leaving here for the first time. Fans turned up in quite good numbers for his first games in charge, in fact I remember BP was quite buzzing when he won his first game against Cambridge. It started to go awry in the summer when he couldn't land his main targets; in hindsight he should have stuck with what he had instead of adding to the squad. Up to mid December we weren't doing too bad. A good draw at Notts and a home draw with Mansfield led us to believe we might make a push for the play offs. I think it will be difficult for him from here, as any manager would after 4 defeats and we cannot afford to let the slump go on, but let us not pretend that we all wanted him out months ago as that (for the majority at least) is patently untrue. |

https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/Blah.pl?m-1491987579//id-1138033#id1138033Quite a few were openly against his appointment and were shot down. Original Slades thread
Slade divides opinion more than Thatcher and Marmite combined!
Poor backwards looking appointment.
Slade can do one as far as I'm concerned
Now I've stopped being sick I will have my 10 pence worth.
I have not said anything about Fenty all season but the amnesty is over.
This is another excrement appointment by Fenty who has made no end of excrement decisions in the name of our club..
FFS man why didn't you take your time and get some advice from people who actually know about football.
This is a backward step for our club.
How the intercourse Slade gets job after job I'm copulated if I know.
Funnily enough I'm doing job interviews tomorrow and if someone who comes for a job tells me they have been sacked 9 times (for being incompetent at his job) in the last 10 years including twice in the last 8 months I would think the bloke has a flipping cheek to even apply.
Fenty your an idiot and Slade your excrement.
Apart from that I will be there Friday and renewing my ST to support the team no the MSH or the fat twit in the hat.

This is one of my favourite quote from one of the Slade threads, when early on someone said they're not going to watch GTFC while Slade is there.
Bye! You wont be missed. Real fans support the club no matter what is happening off the pitch. Shame on you
